Strange As It Seems

Welcome to Strange As It Seems!
I’m Jeff Hix, grand-nephew of John Hix, creator of Strange as it Seems — the original comic strip of oddities, peculiar history, and mind-blowing facts that ran from the late 1920's until 1970. My mission? To dust off this library of the curious and bring it into the digital age, sharing the weird, the wonderful, and the absolutely true stories that make you go, “Wait… really?”
From bizarre coincidences to forgotten history, from myth-conceptions to strange-but-true science, we’re diving into the same kind of jaw-dropping facts that once made people mail my grand-uncle for proof (seriously, they did that). And just like before, everything here is backed by research, not rumors.
So if you love fun, fascinating facts that make you sound like the smartest person at the dinner table—without coming off like a know-it-all—you’re in the right place. Let’s explore the marvels of our world together, one curious tale at a time.
